The Poppy Factory

For one of my projects I looked into the method of remembrance and how that could updated into the 21st century. My research included a visit to the Poppy Factory in Richmond. This is the only one in England, all the poppies that are sold for remembrance day are made by hand at this factory. A team of 50 people – most of them disabled and ex-Service connected – work all year round. They also make wreaths laid by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal Family. Find out more on their website which has more information about what they do and visiting the factory. Heres a few photos of my visit.
